While Zhao Hong was paying attention to other things during this time, it was not that he was not thinking about his own affairs. He discovered a problem, that is, he could not find good material to write a novel for a while.

There is another main problem. Writing more best-selling novels will have little effect on his status in the novel. If he cannot write a great work, his status in the literary world will not be improved.

He now wants to try writing a heavyweight novel.

This reminded him of the documentary "The Rise of Great Powers" produced by Yang Ma in the original time and space. Did he also produce a book on this subject?

As soon as this idea came to him, he couldn't help it. If this thing came to pass, he would be able to transform from a best-selling novelist into an influential literary master in the world's literary world.

After having this idea, Zhao Hong was not in a hurry.

He asked the people below to start collecting information on Britain, Germany, the United States, etc., as well as China. He mainly wanted to write about these four countries, one by one.

It is expected to take about three million words.

This is another huge workload.

For a moment, Zhao Hong felt the long-lost throbbing again.

He found that he still liked to swim in the ocean of words.

"The Rise of the Great Powers" actually means that he will give a certain explanation of the development process of Britain, the United States, Germany and Japan, and then boldly speculate and make a reasonable hypothesis for the future development of China.

Or a prophecy.

If this book can be of use to the country, his merits will be immeasurable.

At the moment, he can't write yet. He mainly wants to write this book, but he needs to understand the development process of several countries. The knowledge covered in it should not be too broad!

Even for people like him who read several books in their dreams every night, they still find it very difficult.

In this case, collecting detailed information is imperative!

This year's company annual meeting was as lively as ever, and it seemed to be no different from last year. There were a lot of singing stars and a large group of influential guests from all walks of life.

DreamWorks is also as stable as ever, and its employees also receive generous holiday allowances and year-end bonuses.

But if you look carefully, there are many new faces, and some old faces are no longer there.

The main reason is that the company has not had a large-scale purge for several years. Although self-examination pickets have been ongoing, from time to time a few people will be sent to prison for embezzling company funds or embezzling company property.

However, since there has been no large-scale inspection for a long time, there have been a lot of moths in the past few years. Although the company is still developing steadily, there are also internal undercurrents.

Under this situation, Zhao Hong and her elder sister discussed and started a top-to-bottom inspection at the beginning of 1991. This investigation failed, and the general manager of one subsidiary company was directly disappeared.

The company has a huge capital of more than 50 million.

This incident directly alarmed Zhao Hong, which made him angry at the company meeting. Since then, the company has carried out more serious pickets. In one year, hundreds of people have been directly dismissed or sent to prison.

These are all management!

The assets directly recovered were more than 200 million. Although Zhao Hong did not see this amount of money, this kind of behavior was extremely disgusting to him.

Sometimes a mouse poop spoils a pot of soup.

If such people are not sanctioned, then other company employees will follow suit.

That's a disaster!

Zhao Hong generally has zero tolerance for this kind of thing in the company. He can allow you to make some decision-making mistakes or show that you are incompetent, but he does not allow you to make a fortune from it.

This kind of unethical thing will never be allowed!

In fact, Zhao Hong also has another purpose in doing this, which is to add vitality to the company.

Although the company is now very big, it still needs to let many capable people get higher positions and drive out those who are just doing nothing.

Therefore, in addition to the removal of those who devoured the company's assets, there are also many people who are no longer qualified for the job and have been demoted or retired. This group of people is even larger, numbering more than a thousand people.

Of course, DreamWorks did not treat them badly. The salary they deserve was not less than that, but they were just allowed to retire in some idle jobs.

No one can say that doing this is burning bridges. Even these employees felt the company's benevolence and did not raise any complaints.

This operation directly resulted in the company's profit this year rising by 3% compared to last year. This figure was far beyond his expectations.

This year, the company has basically no loss-making projects. The construction of Jurassic Park at DreamWorks Park has been completed. Billions of Hong Kong dollars have been invested here. DreamWorks alone bought the park not far from Hong Kong.

An island is just a waste of money.

The construction cost is simply higher, mainly for cross-sea projects, and transportation costs are not a small amount. Fortunately, these have been solved.

As for the opening time, it is still early. The movie shot by Spielberg is currently in post-production and will not be opened until the movie is released. It will not be easy to make money by then.

As for the automobile company, the company sold more than 10,000 vehicles in one year, of which more than 2,000 were directly consumed by the mainland. This number is really impressive.

Of course, Southeast Asia is the most powerful. Although the sales volume in each of these countries is not too much, the total sales are considerable.

With sales of more than 10,000 vehicles, the company has made billions in gross profit within a year, which is a good start for the company.

He has reason to believe that sales will be better next year, and may even exceed 20,000 units.

In addition, shipping is also developing rapidly. If it were not for the huge investment in ports and terminals, the company would have more cash flow. At present, it can only break even, but the terminals are being built one after another, and these are fixed

assets, so the company’s assets are also increasing dramatically!

The investment that is losing money is the investment in Western Australia. It is still in a state of being unable to get in. As for the exploration of iron ore, it is still in progress.

As for the development of other companies, their development is relatively balanced and they are moving forward steadily, with no big surprises and no mistakes.

What should everyone do after the annual meeting?

As the New Year approaches, the weather in Xiangjiang becomes colder, and occasionally the cold wind from the Pacific Ocean blows. Most people wear thick clothes when going out.

Pedestrians walking in a hurry can also be seen on both sides of the street. There are no more flowers and branches like in summer or spring.

Today, Zhao Hong specially accompanied Yazhi for a walk. Both of them were wearing thicker clothes.

Zhao Hong wore a thicker down jacket, while Yazhi wore a wool cloak. The two walked hand in hand on the street.

The lack of pedestrians just made them more immersed in their own world, which made them enjoy themselves.

He looked at Yazhi, who had already given birth to two children. She was still as charming as ever. Time had not left any traces on her body, but her figure was more graceful and graceful, and she faintly exuded the aura of a mature woman.

Although there are few pedestrians on the road, there are still some people who turn their heads to look at me in amazement from time to time.

Their temperaments are like fireflies at night, golden boys and girls, shining brightly.

Although he has changed his appearance and turned into two ordinary faces, his temperament cannot deceive others.

Yazhi felt very comfortable and relaxed. Looking at the gloomy sky, there was no haze at all, and she even felt very bright.

She looked at her lover beside her, and infinite sweetness arose in her heart. They had known each other for almost twenty years, and their relationship was still as hot as when they first fell in love.

Even if the two of them were walking aimlessly on the street, they never felt lonely at all.

More than an hour passed in a flash, and only then did they realize that they had a mission.

This year, Zhao Hong's mother gave him and Yazhi the purchasing power at home. In her mother's words, it was time for her to enjoy life and she no longer wanted to worry about the family.

Zhao Hong could only be speechless about this. When had her mother ever worried about it? Even her son was basically left alone.

"Well, let's hurry up and see what we want to buy! It's been a long time since we came out."

At this time, Yazhi said belatedly.

"It's okay. Take your time. If you don't have enough time, just buy something if you see something available."

Zhao Hong said indifferently.

In fact, it is easier to leave this matter to him. He can just call and someone will handle it properly and considerately for him. But with Yazhi, it is different. For women, there is never enough time to go shopping.

Look, this is coming.

"How is this possible! Since mother asked us to do this, we must do it well so that we can live up to her trust."

Yazhi said with a serious face.

Zhao Hong was a little frightened when she saw her like this. This was another day of non-stop travel!

"Okay, whatever you say!"

In the end, he could only obey.

In just one day, they visited all the streets in Xiangjiang. Only when they saw that the sky had darkened did Yazhi stop her eagerness to try.

When they went back, they didn't bring much with them, mainly because they had sent people back several times during the previous process.

At this point, the family’s New Year’s items and New Year’s gifts for relatives and friends are all ready.

"Azhi, you are really capable. It seems that I have found the right person for you to do this."

My mother said happily when she saw the dazzling array of things.

In fact, she is a person who has difficulty making choices. When she goes to the street to buy things, she doesn’t know where to start and will waste time when she goes back and forth.

So this time I simply left my pick and gave it to my daughter-in-law to do it. It seemed that the effect was very obvious, which made her very happy with her foresight.
